title: Microwave-assisted carbohydrohalogenation of first-row transition-metal oxides (M = V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) with the formation of element halides.
abstract: The anhydrous forms of first-row transition-metal chlorides and bromides ranging from vanadium to copper were synthesized in a one-step reaction using the relatively inexpensive element oxides, carbon sources, and halogen halides as starting materials. The reactions were carried out in a microwave oven to give quantitative yields within short reaction times.
